‘No debate’ in July 25 session, Prayut insists of policy unveiling

Apparently wary of possible opposition objections when he formally sets out government policy in a parliamentary session on July 25, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on Monday warned that it would not be a no-confidence debate.

Newly returned to the premier’s office, Prayut said he had on many occasions observed MPs post-election venture beyond their assigned roles.

“The session [on July 25] is not about the House discussing the previous government’s performance,” he said.
Asked about much-anticipated amendments to the Constitution introduced by the military junta he led, Prayut said no progress had been made by the coalition parties.

The direction towards future charter amendments would be clearer after his government announced its policies, he said.
